I am having a problem with the display of messages from two servers: one
is this, and the other is giganews. The problem is that the messages
are displayed, but with very poor quality, similar to what my printer
gives me when it is running out of toner. The problem shows even in old
messages, that had good quality when I originally received them. The
problem is not present in my email accounts.
I've been looking at the preferences, but nothing stands out as being
the source of the problem, but I'm not technologically adroit, so I
might not know what is wrong, even if I saw it.
My SeaMonkey is pretty much the plain version that comes out of the box.
I almost never change anything in preferences.
So where should I look to find a cure?
I see you've found a workaround, but for the benefit of others who may
come across this it's a known problem with a recent Windows update. See
"Known issues" in the Introduction section at:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455
It affects all applications using certain fonts, not just SeaMonkey.
You can try to find fonts which don't exhibit the problem, and change
the defaults SeaMonkey uses when a page/email doesn't specify otherwise in:
Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts
You may need to change them for "Western" and "Unicode", and maybe some
others depending on the languages you use. If you find a lot of pages
set problematic fonts, you could try also unticking "Allow documents to
use other fonts", at least until Microsoft fixes the update.
I've found the DejaVu series of fonts are OK (I think they were
installed by LibreOffice, but they're also available under a free
license from http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page).
Mark.
